nanoanno

What

This is a program that helps with quick small annotations (nano annotations if you will) in screenshots made with maim or something similar. Everything is in progress currently.

Usage

You can open a file by passing it as the first argument: nanoanno path/to/file.png or by piping into the program. That's why nanoanno file.png and cat file.png | nanoanno behave the same. If there is both an argument and an image being piped into the program, piping will be prefered.

You can pre-define the destination of a saved file with the -o flag. The save shortcuts will then just save the image to the destination saving you from the tiring file dialog (especially in day-to-day usage).

An example usage for screenshot taking may look like the following:

maim -s | nanoanno -o ~/$(date).png | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png

First you select your screenshot through maim like you are used to. The result gets piped into nanoanno where you can do annoatations and where you are free to save the image to ~/$(date).png or not. If you don't want to annotate your image then you can still decide on whether to save it or not (which may add one key press in total to that workflow in the "worst case"). The end result gets piped to your clipboard for further usage.

Keybinds

Keys Action
holding left mouse button painting
holding right mouse button erasing
holding the middle mouse button, h, j, k, l moving the image
mouse scrolling, u, i scaling the image
x undo all changes
s save the image
w quit without saving
q quit and save the image

TODO

  • make the second command line argument do its job
  • fix image dragging by holding the middle mouse button
  • make the popup better looking
  • add clipboard support
  • interpolate between two drawn dots to create a more smooth line
  • eraser
  • text tool

my first C project - don't be harsh

Issues
  • Misc Usability Changes

    Misc Usability Changes

    I'm thinking

    • ^z to undo, ^Z / ^r to redo
    • ctrl-alt mousewheel to increase/decrease brush size (ala gimp)
    • clicking should make a dot, instead of having to move at least 1px for it to register
    • shift-clicking should draw a straight line from the last draw position (ala gimp)

    some (if not all) of these are probably complicated though.

    Either way, nice project, gimp starts wayyy too slowly for edits like this.

  • memory leak when drawing

    memory leak when drawing

    whenever I draw (ie hold left mouse and move it) the memory usage goes up quite fast, but doesn't go down.

    I think this may have to do with the undo logic (btw you should add ^z support), even though it still happens if I don't let go, and the memory usage doesn't go down if I "reset" the undo history (undo, make new change). I'm assuming that it saves the previous image instead of just the changes.

    Arguments

    Didn't try out the is_maximized and is_on_top options so you should probably test them. --help (-h) and --version (-v) are automatically handled by argp using the corresponding metadata in the top section of pinsel.c.

    Updated shell.nix and Makefile

    The nix shell file needed lua, and for some reason I couldn't build on NixOS, which lead to the Makefile code addition.

    You should try building on your system first to see if it works.
